Marketing of Innovation & Effectual Entrepreneurship in Health Sciences

23^rd – 24^th June 2015,
at seminar room of 'MRC House', 8 Parului Str, Craiova, Romania

Our Rationale

Innovations become more and more crucial, particularly when existing business models based on volume are threatened. This perspective is complex but also really exiting. However, the innovation process seems not to be understood nor really controlled or managed yet. When dealing with innovation, one of the main issues is about market creation for the novelty or invention. How can a market be created? How to design an innovation when creating a new market or changing an existing market? Are existing marketing concepts applicable when the market does not exist?

This course aims at delivering the framework to understand and deal with strategic innovation concepts. At the end of the course, Trainees will be familiar with new concepts presented here and the specific way of thinking to deal with disruptive innovation.

Our Target Group

This course is appropriate for:

• Researchers in medical and/or life sciences who are interested in getting involved with the marketing of their research outputs, from any position (e.g., entrepreneurial, or as a member of a larger organization).
• Entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs and individuals supporting and coaching entrepreneurial projects in the life sciences willing to experience the entrepreneur's mindset and toolkit through an intense accelerated seminar.
